Correction: Gecko's position should be "No Signal". I've updated this in 
the Chromestatus link.

Let me amend... LGTM once you've requested Privacy, Security, and 
Debuggability bits in your Chromestatus entry (in the Origin Trial section).

*Explainer*

*Specification*
https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11588

*Summary*
HTML-in-canvas enables customizing the rendering of html using canvas with 
three new primitives: an attribute to opt-in canvas elements 
(layoutsubtree), methods to draw child elements (2d: drawElementImage, 
webgl: texElementImage2D, webgpu: copyElementImageToTexture), and a paint 
event which fires to handle updates.

*Web Feature ID*

*Goals for experimentation*
API shape

*Origin Trial documentation link*
https://github.com/WICG/html-in-canvas

*Goals for experimentation*
None

*Risks*


*Interoperability and Compatibility*
This API exposes a small amount of new information which carries an interop 
risk, such as the pixels of gradients and form controls.

*Gecko*: Negative (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/
issues/1076) Mozilla did not object to advancing the spec to stage 2 
(consensus around rough API shape), and we are actively working to address 
their concerns about fingerprinting and compatibility.

*WebKit*: No signal (https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/
issues/630)

*Web developers*: Positive (https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/10650#
issuecomment-3324124682) We have positive signals from users of the 
DevTrial: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/10650#
issuecomment-3324124682

*Other signals*:

*Security*

privacy-preserving-painting

*WebView application risks*

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that 
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
*No information provided*


*Debuggability*
Content under canvas can be debugged like regular DOM content via devtools.

*Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, 
Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)?*
Yes

*Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests 
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>?*
Yes
